    Seems to be working, had a little note on the order confirmation page saying "qualified for promotion: gift card promotion". Let's see, it should be a day from now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,797 ✭✭✭Doodah7


    That worked for me. Just followed the link provided by the OP and clicked the button on screen. As usual, I received the confirmation email from Amazon followed by the redeem email almost instantly. Should get the fiver email tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,272 ✭✭✭donnacha


    Thanks OP, worked for me also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭hots


    :( Not eligible.




  • It said I was eligible but when I paid there was no message saying that I had qualified for the promotion (like the poster above said). Worth a try at least...thanks OP! :)

    I was eligible, will know more tomorrow thanks.

    Same for me... eligible but no mention of the £5 promotion after I bought the £20 gift card.
    We'll see in the next few days.
    Tks anyways OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,063 ✭✭✭Greenmachine


    Can I spend the Promo code at the same time as the Gift Card. :p
    It doesn't matter if I am paying in Euro does it, or is my card issuer applying a conversion rate.

    I think you can....as usually when you have the gift card uploaded to your amazon account, you pay the remainder with a credit card and when you go to the final order screen you can also apply a discount code :)

    Got the code today! The email also says "The promotion code must be used by 12 September 2015." And it is a promo code to be entered on the checkout page and not a gift card code.

  • Got my promo code!! Phew!! :) Thanks OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,283 ✭✭✭Deedsie


    Can the gift card and the promo code be used together? Wanted to buy batman for the ps4. Nice to get £5 off.

    You'll get it a day after you buy the voucher..

    As long as you were clicked link (and was approved) as eligible, and went through to buy the £20 voucher.. you'll should get it.

    I followed all those steps so hopefully.

    Cheers guys! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,797 ✭✭✭Doodah7


    Yes I received the £5 code EXACTLY 24 hours after ordering the original voucher.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,782 ✭✭✭SmallTeapot


    Excellent! I'm glad it has worked for everybody. My discount also came through today, exactly 24hrs later :) Happy days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,925 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 397 ✭✭Libera

    Can anyone who has the gift card & promo code verify if this can be done? It'll prob say it in the t&c's somewere.
    Also is there an expiry date on both of these?

    The gift card will be used as your payment method, and you can then enter the discount code in the box at checkout. So yes, you can use both for the one transaction.

    The gift voucher has a 10 year expiry and the £5 promotional code must be used by 12 Sept. '15.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭Niemoj


    Got the email today, 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds later it seems! Haha

    Cheers OP!

    I was charged €28.66 by AIB just in case anyone is curious.

    The Euro only seems to be decreasing in value! :(

    It wouldn't allow me use both in the same transaction.

    EDIT: Possibly due to it not being an Amazon product. DOH


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,201 ✭✭✭tharmor


    Just to help out everyone.....the 5 will be applied to your account for any order you place irrespective of payment method you use....so you can use both together !!

    I had availed this last year without any hassles !

    Just ordered and was eligible and hopefully would get the promo code morrow !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 828 ✭✭✭bored_newbie


    Just to dumb this down for myself...

    I buy the £20 voucher. Enter my own email as the recipient.
    Get the £5 voucher the next day.
    Place an order for £25 using the two vouchers.

    Is that right?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭angelmum


    Thanks op! Bought the £20 on my usual account and got the £5 as well. Created new account and subscribe to Amazon fashion and got 20% off then used the gift card and £5 bonus on top of that

    Can never work out why I'm not eligible for this offer as it does come up at least once a year. I have an active account for years but never get the promo email. Great post though op.

    Send them an email asking, maybe moan a little bit about being a loyal customer.
